INTRODUCTION

Re-Connect is a non-profit company with the main aim of caring for abandoned, abused, neglected and orphaned children.

We are driven by the desperate plea of the millions of vulnerable children in South Africa. We have therefore made it our mission to take care of these children, one child at a time, while raising awareness of their plight.

We want you to get involved in addressing the challenge one child at a time.

According to Statistics South Africa (2012) there are currently more than 3 million orphaned children in South Africa. Some sources estimate that this number may peak in excess of 5 million. These statistics do not even include the multitude of children in the social services sphere being neglected and abused by their own parents.

Very few South Africans are aware of these overwhelming statistics.

We live comfortably in our small worlds and are prepared to give our own children the world in order to help build them a wonderful future. But while we nurture our children at least 20% of the children in our country grow up in the saddest conditions that will in all likelihood have a severe impact on their personalities and skills as adults.

Many studies have been conducted to measure the effect of neglect on human development. Evidence suggests that children who suffers neglect may show deficiencies in emotional and physical development. Some researchers even go so far as to suggest that children who were neglected show an increased likelihood for hyperactivity, aggression and disciplinary problems. This could lead to a greater risk for criminal behaviour in later stages of their lives.

The reality is that if these millions of orphaned and vulnerable children, grow up without education, life skills and a sense of belonging and without God and Jesus Christ it will be devastating to the future! If we want to secure a future for our own children in this beautiful country of ours, we will have to start taking responsibility for these children.

3 million sounds overwhelming, and one immediately feels that it is a hopeless case. We would like to challenge you to change your mindset and start thinking of the challenge, one child at a time. If every family, business, church and school in South Africa, takes responsibility for 1 child, we can help millions of these orphans.

It is our dream is to be a voice for the vulnerable, making everyone aware of the orphan crisis in SA and to motivate as many people as possible to get involved, helping one child at a time.

Re-Connect believes that God is the Father of the Fatherless, and wants to connect each orphan in South Africa to Jesus Christ.
